Halloween Coloring Pages For Kids

Welcome to my colection of Halloween Coloring Pages Bats on the series Bat Coloring Pages. Bats are nocturnal creatures, so it’s natural that a celebration about the end of the light seasons and the beginning of the dark ones would incorporate them. Additionally, in the old days Halloween meant big bonfires, which draw mosquitoes and moths, which would in turn draw bats, so bats were likely a common sight during the early Samhain festivals and later Halloween celebrations. Those rational explanations aside, bats are sort of creepy, and certain groups thought that the little flying rodents were able to communicate with the dead. How they would know is uncertain, considering the bats can’t communicate with US, but whatever. Also, once vampire legends made their way into Halloween folklore, the position of the bat was set – since it was thought that vampires could transform into bats. PLUS, witch hunters were pretty sure that witches could transform into creepy creatures like black cats, bats, and spiders, so there’s that, AND there are vampire bats who only feed on blood. All those things put together might make bats the most Halloweeny things ever.(Source: https://www.toptenz.net/top-10-halloween-symbols-and-what-they-mean.php)
